  2. REQUIREMENTS • At the end of January, the School for Advanced Studies students (6th, 7th, and 8th graders) will present their projects at the Winter Showcase. Here are the requirements for your project: • RESEARCH • INTERVIEW • ICON FLIP BOOK • MATH CALCULATIONS • REFLECTION • BIBLIOGRAPHY

  3. RESEARCH • Research general information about earthquakes, hurricanes, and volcanoes, including information about: • what they are • where they occur • how they are measured • what you do if you are ever in one (natural disaster preparedness) • Research a specific earthquake, hurricane, and volcanic eruption (one of each) and find specific data about those events – you will put this information in your flip book. • Complete a citation slip for each source (internet, book, or encyclopedia) you get information from. • You must have at least one of each type of source (internet, book, or encyclopedia). No WikiPEDIA.

  4. INTERVIEW • Find a friend or family member who has survived a natural disaster (earthquake, hurricane, tornado, volcanic eruption, sand/dust storm, flood, etc.). • Interview them about their experience. • Complete enough research about their specific disaster to be able to write an introductory paragraph. • Create a PowerPoint about their experience. *** Make sure you use Question/Answer format. ***

  5. ICON FLIP BOOK • Complete the rough draft of the flip book – using your research, a dictionary, and your brain,  fill-in the details in the flip book. • *** Note: All answers in the flip book must be in complete sentences (I.Q.I.A). To earn an ‘A’ you must go above and beyond simply answering the questions. ***

  6. MATH CALCULATIONS • You will be given a year to research the number of earthquakes, hurricanes, and volcanic eruptions that occurred during that calendar year. • Then, do the math calculations to determine the daily number of occurrences for earthquakes, hurricanes, and volcanic eruptions. • Finally, plot your data on the class timeline.

  7. REFLECTION • Take some time to think about your learning process and interaction with this project. Answer the reflection questions, although if you have other thoughts or ideas you would like to share, feel free.

  8. BIBLIOGRAPHY • Definition A bibliography is a list of resources used or referred to by an author • Follow the directions to create a bibliography – must be in MLA format and typed
